mark tonin Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Come Together for one last summer blast during the Labour Day weekend!I spoke with Mark Wilson last week and things are taking shape for a Labour Day Come Together Fest at Frontier Ghost Town on Sept. 1, 2 & 3. Acoustic acts in the saloon from noon until 8 p.m. on Sat. and Sun., a main tent stage running Fri., Sat. and Sun., and late night bands in the saloon.The "acoustic saloon" has almost been finalized, and there is a huge amount of talent booked to play, much of which is new talent for this festival. Check out the list of performers scheduled to play the acoustic saloon stage:Mike Alviano Jay ClearyMandi HancockLynn Jackson Shannon LyonPaul MacLeodJohn Mars Craig McNairTanya PhilipovichJP Riemens Alfie SmithLucas StaggMark ToninMark WilsonThe main tent and late night saloon acts will be announced in the near future.I'll post more info when I get it. And you can also check out the Come Together Music Fest web site for more info.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 The band names that will be recognized will be announced in the near future. Paul MacLeod and Shannon Lyon are big names in the KW region. I think for the first time ever I'm going to play a set of mostly original music on stage, just me and my bass guitar. Looking forward to the Labour Day Come Together Fest, but not too much yet as there is still lots of summer left! Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) ah yes, i remember now. hope i can make it up to the ghost town, i've never been! Mark Wilson has a voice from the soul that's hard to forget. It would be a treat to see Velvet and phorbsie at ghost town. And the Tonin bass guitar playing will be accompanied by some words.

mark tonin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm guessin' a lot of the Ottawa-area crew are headin' to moe.down for the Labour Day weekend, but if you're lookin' for a Canadian alternative phorbsie, the Come Together Fest is always a lot of fun. Lookin' forward to the next time we connect Todd ... I think the last time was last year at the Labour Day Come Together Fest. Off for some outdoor adventure ... happy summer days!

mark tonin Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 As per usual, a lot of southern Ontario favourites will be playing at the festival ... friends playing for friends, which is a big part of what this festival is about.Having said that, there is a lot of talent booked for the acoustic stage that is new to the festival, and I'm sure that many people will be happy to see Doug Feaver's name on the bill for the festival. I finally saw him play for the first time at Dancin' Man & Super Freak's Buck & Doe, and wow, now I know why people have raved about him for all of these years. He's somewhat of a legend in Hamilton, and I now understand why.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blurry Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I've got a feaver and the only prescription is more Doug!(I've never actually seen him but I've always wanted to say that)If there is a God, there will be some bluegrass this time!!Oh, and as much as it is always the same bands playing every festival, I will never complain if I see the Fat Cats, Diesel Dog or the Burties on the roster!!So, here hoping for some BNB too!!
